When the Ramona Rancheros archery project started in 2012, the biggest challenge was finding a place to set up an archery range. But Brian Reaser, with Dependable Water Resources, is allowing the group to meet on his property.

The children were sharing one inexpensive bow, making practices long with limited shooting time, before the donation was received.

The Easton Foundation works to promote archery in communities and schools in hopes of inspiring future Olympic archers. The foundations began in 1984 and were created by Jim Easton, CEO of Jas. D. Easton, Inc.

The Ramona Rancheros 4-H Club is open to youths from age 5 to 19. In addition to archery, members can participate in projects related to gardening, horsemanship, citizenship, cooking, swine, sewing, poultry, leadership, cavies, crafts, horticulture and sign language.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of 4-H in California. The focus of all 4-H programs is positive youth development through activities in science literacy, healthy living and citizenship.
